Moscow Mathematical Society
The Moscow Mathematical Society (MMO, Russian Московское математическое общество ) is a society of mathematicians in Moscow.
History
The Moscow Mathematical Society was founded in September 1864 by the mathematician Nikolai Dmitrievich Braschman, Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and since 1834 Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Moscow State University, who was also its first president. He worked there together with August Julewitsch Davydov (1823-1885), who was a professor at the Moscow State University and was also Brasch Mans successor as President of the Society. The founding members of the company came down to Pafnuti Lvovitch Chebyshev ( but who had studied in Moscow at Braschman ) all from Moscow, the company found itself but as a promoter of mathematics in Russia and soon members joined outside Moscow and from abroad. 1866 began her journal Matematitscheski to appear sbornik ( whose appearance was interrupted in 1919 and 1924 ).
The company was also marked by the Golden Years of Moscow Mathematics in the 1920s and 1930s, in the orientation had on Real Analysis and Measure Theory in the School of Dmitri Fyodorovich Egorov and Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin its beginning, from, among others, Andrei Kolmogorov ( student of Luzin ) and the topologist Pavel Alexandrov emerged, whose pupil Lev Pontryagin was also very influential. Another Golden Age began in 1953 with the mathematicians after the Second World War at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics ( Mech- Mat) studied the Moscow State University. School development it were, among others, Igor Shafarevich, ( the Algebraic geometry and number theory goal for ), and the seminar of Israel Gelfand, who had a wide range of mathematical. From the 1960s onwards also the Kolmogorov - Arnold and Yuri Manin student Vladimir and Sergei Petrovich Novikov exerted a great influence. A decline set in, started as to make the end of the 1960s, official pressure felt, which led, among other things, that were no Jewish students admitted to doctoral studies at Mech -Mat and no Jewish scientist there and were set at the Steklov Institute. This was due first protest movements in the 1960s that had been massively supported by mathematicians at Mech -Mat.
The Transactions of the Moscow Mathematical Society published in English translation in American Mathematical Society.
The Moscow Mathematical Society awards a prize for young mathematicians, for example, the Vladimir Arnold ( 1958), Sergei Novikov (1964 ), Victor Anatoljevich Vasilyev (1985 ), Ilya Pjatetskij - Shapiro, Eugene Dynkin (1951 ), Alexander Beilinson received.
